Small Town Manhattan

There are lots of perks to living in a small town. Here are a few:

One of my friends set up a little preschool where we rotate houses and we all take turns giving a lesson on a particular theme every other week. In between those weeks we go on a field trip. We wanted to tour the air port since kids love planes. The closest big airport is over 2 hours away but Manhattan does have a teeny tiny airport. My friend called them up and just asked if we could have a tour. Not only did they say yes but it was free, the director of the airport did the tour, we got up close to some of the planes, they got to watch one take off, and they got a little wooden plane at the end. How awesome is that? You could never do that at a normal airport.

Also there are weekly farmers markets. I love the idea of supporting local farmers. And there are plenty around here!  This particular week there were some extra fun things to enjoy.

 Rylee, of course, loving the pig. 

Cade is loving being inside the fire truck. We walked up to it to go inside and they all of a sudden shut the doors and jumped inside and took off.  They got a call. Kind of cool to see then do their thing. But then they came back.
